Christmas decorations at Graceland had one hundred percent been Charlie's thing. None of the rest of them had ever shown much of an interest. And the one time Mike had offered to help he'd been threatened bodily harm if he dared to touch her glass baubles. Before that, growing up, it had always been something he'd helped his mom with. She'd shown him how to make paper chains, and hang strings to display the cards they received. They'd only had actual glass baubles one year, and it had only taken one drunken incident with his dad for them to nix that idea.
The less said of that the better.
But this place was neither his childhood home or Graceland, and Mike wanted to at least make some kind of an effort. Even if it did end up just being one sad looking fake tree. Green Roof Treasures might not have been the right choice for that, though. It all seemed to be that high end, overpriced, glitter covered stuff. He was pretty sure he'd never get it off of him just from picking up a sparkly gold reindeer for all of twenty seconds. Despite himself he had kind of liked it, though. He could actually picture it sitting on his coffee table.
What he probably should have been doing was thinking of presents for the handful of people he'd gotten to know in his time here, but that felt like a whole other battle he wasn't quite prepared for as he browsed the shelves and tables holding their decorations.
